Ishan is of Bajora heritage, and his tale is not for the faint of heart. Born on April 10th 2343, He felt the sting of the Cardassian occupation early in his life. His parents were both farmers according to the d’jarra system. They continued farming when most had abandoned the old caste system, only now they smuggled their crops to the resistance, instead of selling them at the market.

When Ishan was thirteen his father was captured during a Cardassian raid on the cell he supplied, and dragged his body back to the farm after beating him to death. There they beat Ishan for attacking the Cardassian commander after he had raped his mother. Setting the house on fire, they took Ishan to the Batal labor camp, where his mother became one of the Gul’s "comfort women". She committed suicide not long after.

In the camp, he had to learn quickly to fend for himself. The Bajorans often fought over food, and so Ishan learned how to defend his rations, any way he could.
Ishan spent four years in the labour camp, until on the morning of June 3rd, 2360, the Ornathia resistance cell launched an operation to liberate the camp. Five Bajoran resistance fighters, disguised as workers, infiltrated the compound. They soon signalled the rest of the forces to begin the attack. They engaged the guards in heavy combat.

Ishan stole a sidearm from a downed Cardassian, and joined the battle. He killed without mercy. After they had finished their mission and taken the former slaves to a safe house, the leader, Lenaris Holem offered Ishan a position in the cell.

Ishan’s first mission in the resistance was a raid on Cardassian weapons factory. In the dead of night, his cell surrounded the facility. Blasting their way in, they set the power systems to over load, and shot the control circuits. Broek then gathered all the explosives he could find, and spread them out at the base of the overloading power storage buffer.

Ishan also participated in the famous raid on Pullock V. Lenaris Holem was given a strike force to steal a trade freighter docked at the space port, and the rest of the cell was ordered to simultaneously disable the Cardassian’s fighter base. Ishan was assigned to Holem’s team.

They were immediately immersed in a violent fight with the Cardassians who were guarding the freighter. The resistance fighters out numbered them ten to one though, and quickly won. Ishan threw a gas canister out the hatch just before they closed it, to prevent them from being followed.

In all, Ishan participated in over sixty engagements with Cardassian soldiers during his tenure in the Bajoran resistance. Once the occupation had ended, he joined the Bajoran Militia and was assigned to the Assault Ship Kai as part of the weapons crew.

He remained in the Militia until 2373. In that year he resigned his commission in light of Bajor’s non-aggression pact with the Dominion. He understood the reasons for Bajor staying neutral, and didn’t hold it against them, but he felt in his heart that he needed to move on.

He soon joined Starfleet Marines as an enlisted grade officer and was posted to Tormon V near the demilitarized zone during the Dominion War. He spent the remainder of the dominion war on that planet as a Tactical officer defending it without relief from Jem’Hadar soldiers.

After the end of the Dominion War, mentally scarred from the years of senseless killing that he had witnessed, Ishan took some shore leave back home on Bajor to get his head straight, and consider his future.

He took the decision to join Starfleet and eventually graduated top of his class after which he was assigned to the Security
